I’m riding from Lake Forest: 5 -> 55 -> 91 -> 60…
There’s a Starbucks in Tustin off the 55 at 17245 17th st.
Anyone want to meet up there at 7:00am?I’m on the ride list. I’ll be tent camping.
Don’t wait for me at the starting point. I’ll be about an hour behind you all.Ok, last update (yay).
Yesterday, Cindy went for her first ride since the accident. She’s doing great! We’re on the road again. Whoo-hoo.
Hi Bill. I went with a 2016 RT in metallic ebony. I loved my 6. It’s an amazing machine and I’d like to get another one some day, but it’s a big bike and I dropped it twice in 6 months during low speed u-turns. It’s got a high center of balance that ocassionally caught me off guard. I think I’m a pretty good rider but I was never 100% confident on it. I also considered getting a GS but Cindy wasn’t thrilled about that. After talking it over with Kevin and others at Irv Seaver’s we went with a nicely equipped RT.
The RT doesn’t have brute force power and torque of the 6 but it’s lighter, and in my opinion, more nimble and sportier too. I think it’s better looking as well. And it costs a bit less.
March update:
We’re both doing really well. Cindy can drive (her car) for short trips and is recovering nicely. I’m almost 100%. I went for a 100 mile ride to break in my new bike today 😉 It felt wonderful!We’re booked here:

Another update.
First of all Cindy & I are blown away by the kindness and support of the club members. We are new to the club and yet you have treated like family. You all are the best! I’m not kidding. Offers for dinners, house cleaning, transportation, towing for my bike, literally “anything we need” has been offered! Irv Seaver, especially Jeff in service, has been helpful too offering advice and assistance. Most importantly we want to thank everyone for your prayers.
So it’s been almost 2 weeks since the accident and there’s been much improvement. Cindy’s doing well but will be on disability for 1 or 2 months until she regains full use of her left arm. She’s in good spirits and is doing better every day. She saw her primary care physician yesterday and has physical therapy twice a week at home. Everyone is pleased with her progress.
I’m almost recovered and went back to work this week. I’m a little sore but am fine as long as I don’t cough or sneeze.
I heard from the insurance adjuster today. I’m sorry to say the bike is totaled. I was kind of surprised but it did take a hard fall. They’re paying me about 95% of what I paid for it, plus original sales tax, plus replacement cost of the damaged gear. Pretty darn good.
See you all at the next club meeting.
Mark & Cindy
